Previous reports show that IDH-mutation status can be determined in glioblastoma using DTI-derived isotropic (p) and anisotropic (q) maps to measure infiltrative growth along white matter tracts by determining the extent or pattern of p/q mismatch: abnormal p overlaps normal q-areas by >0.5cm. We use this method in presumed low-grade (i.e. non-enhancing) gliomas to see if infiltrative growth patterns correlate with IDH-mutation and 1p19q codeletion status, which in turn are correlated with prognosis.
